This hotel is very tired and really needs a refresh. Intercontinental is an aspirational luxury brand. This hotel is more like a cheap budget motel. The real issue is price point and brand projection do not match. Arrived early after 22 hours of travel to be told “no rooms until 3:00 PM” - at 5:00 PM only room available turned out to be a smoking room. The room was very degraded. Towel rails fell off the wall, tap handles feel off and the wall paper was peeling. Water from the shower leaked on the panels which were falling to pieces. The room was filthy. Pieces of rubbish embedded into the carpet and dust balls around the furniture. The aircon vent was disgusting. Entertainment was provided by the local nightclubs which blared music to 4:00 AM. Soundproofing was non existent. Checked out and went to the Sheraton. Which is lovely.

Beautiful property, great spa, gym and swimming pool. Rooms need some update but comfortable and those facing the river have an incredible view. Multiple restaurants and coffee shops but service can sometimes be slow in some. Security is tight. Front desk and concierge et front door staff were helpful. Check-in and check-out were fast and accurate. Unfortunately the area around have few attractions except the Egyptian museum which is moving out. There are abandoned homes around despite some embassies and the parliament is close nearby. Downtown is nearby but looks run down and dirty. There is also a confusing metro station close. The hotel however is a gem and prices are fair for what it offers.

The hotel is beautiful & spotlessly clean. Staff are super helpful. Room was comfortable & had great views over the Nile. Breakfast was fresh, varied & tasty, also a big bonus for it being open till 11am. Only negative was the price of food, 3 times more expensive than in nearby restaurants which i guess was too be expected
